Just wondering why someone would not wear a seat belt.

I feel funny not wearing one, it just feels strange.

I do but only because of the annoying beeping.

I don't. It's just a terrible habit. It doesn't even cross my mind when I get in a vehicle.

I have a friend who doesn't wear one and he is also one of the most reckless drivers I've ever been with. He is going to fricking kill himself someday.

I always wear one at all times when the vehicle is in motion. It's like secondhand to me.

It saves lives.

I used to he lac about wearing mine all the time until my daily driver was a car that beeped and heeped until you put your belt on.

Now my daily driver doesn't beep and its weird as hell not wearing it on the rare occasion when I forget. Plus I don't want to get pulled over and have my dog shot because I'm not wearing my seat belt.

Only time I wear mine is when I see a cop. It aggravates my ADD

I've been in a few 35-50mph wrecks before and never really got hurt other than a broken nose and some cuts. Not too worried about it

Always wear mine, was in a bad wreck once where I t-boned someone who pulled out in front of me while I was travelling at 65 mph. The belt kept me from going through the windshield, but that sob bruised my liver and cracked a rib on my upper left chest. Guess that's better than the alternative.

Every situation is different.

In high school I never wore my seat belt. I flipped a car where the car landed upside down in a crawfish pond. If I would've been wearing my seat belt, I would be dead. Yea csb

Now I drive mostly in the city or on the interstate where seat belts are proven to save lives.

Bottom line is there is no way of knowing when getting thrown from a vehicle is the better outcome of a wreck. Odds are in your favor if you wear the seat belt.

Same. It's just second nature for me to immediately put my seat belt on once I get in the car.

My parents ALWAYS made me wear a seat belt as a kid and I honestly don't think I've ever gone without - I'm grateful they did because I've been in a couple of wrecks where I'd probably be dead had I not been wearing it.

I always wear one. Sometimes, I even sit in my truck in the garage and just put one on to feel safe.

Not wearing one is like smoking in the sense that I don't condone it and it's harmful to yourself but it's your right to do so and there shouldnt be laws against it
